Thanks!  I had intended to make contact a couple of days ago, but had
a car maintenance issue arise, so am tied up with that for a couple of
days.  What are the alternative media options on the machine?  I
assume that it will probably be 3.5 floppy diskettes, so I picked up a
few at WC the other day.  Any other options?
